to every duty of the school-room, striving
thus to impress the lesson of this young life,

of the dear child that had faded with the
flowers, but who. like them, should live again
on that bright shore where flowers perennial
bloom, the thought brought comfort to
sorrowing hearts,
"And none who looked on her could choose but say,
Nina, sweet angel, God be blessed for thee.
